<div>To clarify why it is useful:</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index#name-suggestion-index" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index#name-suggestion-index</a> has</div><div>index of common brand.</div><div><br /></div><div>It allows for easier editing for editors using this data. For example in Vespucci</div><div>when I encounter shop from a common brand there is no need to think what is</div><div>the proper shop tag or enter the entire name.</div><div><br /></div><div>It is enough to start typing its name and editor provides autocompletion</div><div>that includes shop type.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Attempting to add brand:wikipedia / brand:wikidata will ensure that names<br /></div><div>are common but are not one brand (for example shop named "Sklep", what is Polish for shop)</div><div>will be found and discarded.</div><br />17.

I have a project called `name-suggestion-index` that I could use help with…<br />You can even get some free stuff if you sign up on <a href="https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/</a> with your GitHub account.<br /><div><br /></div><div>Go to this project: <a href="https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index</a></div><div>I need help matching all the commonly named brands in OpenStreetMap to Wikidata ids.</div><div><br /></div><div>For each one that we haven’t matched already, I’ve opened an issue.</div><div>For each issue, someone needs to look up on Google or Wikipedia whether that thing really is a brand.</div><div>If so, add the `brand:wikidata` and `brand:wikipedia` tags. And if not, add a regex to discard it from the index. </div><div><br /></div><div>Then send a pull request to close the issue.</div><div>If you send 5 pull requests in October, you’ll get some swag from Hacktoberfest 😃</div><div><br /></div><div>It doesn’t take a lot of time, and it’s a great way to help OSM and learn about GitHub and Open Source. There are thousands of open issues and I’d appreciate all the help I can get!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks 🙏</div><div>Bryan</div><div><br /></div></blockquote> </body>
